offered by
The party that states this deal — the offer's party as a governed word: a manufacturer selling direct, a distributor, a rival shop whose shelf price was observed, any entity that can face a store with terms. A token from the open Parties vocabulary, coined the moment a store first needs it (the same lane brands use), wearing the party's names as the token's labels — multilingual, synonym-rich — so the same word serves every store and cross-store reads join for free. One offered-by statement names the party of one offer, and every offered-by statement must carry its stance qualifier (addressed or observed) — the stance is the cost-defining switch and may never be mute. An offer that carries NO offered-by statement is the store's own — absence means the house, written law, never inferred. Deliberately a word, not an entity: a party token is one referent edited in one place, and a party that already holds a pool word in another role keeps that same word here — never a second token for the same referent (Cello Industries (T) Ltd. is one word in both Manufacturers and Parties). The party's phonebook — contacts, delivery days, terms of relationship — belongs to the ordering layer, never to this word.
Offered by is answered with one word chosen from the parties list — the same word shared across every product that uses it.
It belongs to pricing — what it costs.
